If you haven’t heard, as of December 6, 2018, recreational cannabis is now legal in the state of Michigan. Although cannabis is legal, the first dispensaries aren’t set to open until 2020.

Blaze owner Stephanie Swearengin, states “Pretty much demand has been hard to keep up with for the most part.” In addition to demand, many have questioned the legality of her business model. Swearengin commented, “We’ve talked to multiple lawyers about the issue and as far as we can tell it’s just a large gray area.”

Victor Fitz, a Cass County Prosecutor, doesn’t feel the Blaze’s business model is legal, due to the fact, that there is an underlying intention to make a profit off of cannabis distribution. Therefore, the Blaze is walking a very slippery slope.

Back in 2017, a Massachusetts business was shut down for accepting a cover charge at the door and then gifting entrants with cannabis. Although recreational use was legal at the time, the business owner didn’t hold a license to distribute marijuana. Some may view the Blaze’s book bundles as a similar transaction.
